The Praque Post says there was a conference of Japanese businessmen at Praque castle last week including the President of Toyota.

Hmm, interesting, thanks!

Wasn't sure if the chap who lowered his 1B seat on me last night was a former Reserve Bank board member or perhaps a retired banker. After several glasses of Leeuwin Estate red I relaxed and ignored my tv space intruder.

Late posting but Channel 9 foreign correspondent Robert Penfold and wife on VA7, Brisbane to LAX April 2nd, sitting in 5F & FG.

He seemed very attentive to Mrs Penfold, even put her socks on, which I pointed out to my husband who failed to understand why I thought this was sweet and he should do the same for me.

Wow, you are in good company with Brad Pitt, Duncan Bannatyne and Dr Karl.

As posting the Wikipedia page for Akio Toyoda probably won't help, hopefully a description might. He has chubby cheeks, slightly receding short hair, wears rimless glasses and he has ears like butternut pumpkins.

After clearing customs in BKK last night I thought someone like One Direction was about to materialise so asked one of the people who they were waiting for.

The response was "Thai people coming back in Thailand."

It's no big deal for frequent flyers or airport workers but I saw Singapore Girls at Melbourne airport on Monday.
